"Is there no voice to cry out from the wind and say what it is like to be the wind,
 To be roughed up by the trees and to bring music from the scattered houses
 And the stones, and to be in such intimate relationship with the sea
 That you cannot understand it?"
 -Kenneth Koch, "Fresh Air"

"My darling, the wind falls in like stones
from the whitehearted water and when we touch
we enter touch entirely.”
-Anne Sexton, from “The Truth the Dead Know"
